Auction and Dinner Dance 2008 – Amore: A Sparkling Evening of Love

Amore: a Sparkling Evening of Love, the St. Norbert Parish School’s 25th Annual Auction, is the largest fundraiser of the year. Our auction committee (volunteers needed and welcome!) plans a lovely dinner dance accompanied by an extensive silent and live auction. We gather items to be auctioned off and depend heavily on the school families—soliciting donations from local businesses, friends or family; buying an item or creating a basket to donate to the auction; donating cash so the auction committee can purchase items to be auctioned off.

Each year the auction committee also sponsors a raffle and underwriting events. The underwriting events provide much of our seed money. An event such as ours comes with a price, of course, and the proceeds from Underwriting give the committee the cash flow it needs to organize the event. Ultimately, all this planning and preparation culminates in a wonderful celebration. The St. Norbert Parish School auction begins with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres during the silent auction, after which guests enjoy a sit-down dinner. After dinner the live auction takes place followed by music and dancing.
